Comedy is replacing awkward silences at gatherings of town councilors.

While waiting for a colleague who had been delayed earlier this week, Councilor John Norman entertained fellow members of the council town manager subcommittee, trading jokes with ex officio member Fred Chirigotis, the council president.

If you’ve been in a barbershop in the last three decades, you’ve probably heard the jokes. Even so, all present enjoyed a few hearty laughs.
